William F. Niland v. Department of Revenue (SPR 20201097)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records July 14, 2020 SPR20/1097 Amy M. Clayman Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement Division P.O. Box 9561 Boston, MA 02114-9561 Dear Attorney Clayman: I have received the petition of William F. Niland appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Revenue (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Niland requested several categories of records within the possession of the Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Niland petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the Department responded to Mr. Niland’s request with a response dated July 9, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Niland may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: William F. Niland, III One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
